For some years I have had a huge interest in the sea and spent much of my spare time pursuing this. In downtime from my day job dealing with rabbits, you will often find me somewhere on the Dorset coast, either by day or night. It is an area that I’m fond of and one I always look forward to visiting time and again. I love fishing with my rod or speargun, enjoy snorkeling around the bays, investigating what lies under the rocks, collecting seaweed from the shore, scuba diving for scallops, or investigating my way around wrecks.
